Reshuffles with the redundancies at SCA

With three regional teams wrapping up this week on the Hit and Triple M networks as part of foreshadowed job cuts, SCA have also shuffled the shows that now will cater to the areas that have lost their breakfast shows, as well as the leadership model that guides them behind the scenes.

In Western Australia, Triple M Bunbury’s Michael & Angie (Leah Tindale is currently covering Angie’s maternity leave) will expand their show to the areas that were home to Triple M WA‘s Robbie & Carly. Robbie & Carly finished yesterday, June 16.

Hit Newcastle’s Jess & Rohan (pictured main) will also broadcast to a wider audience. How much of Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania that means, where Bronte and Lakey (QLD) and Dan and Christie (regional Vic and Tasmania) broadcast to up until this morning (see below) we shall see.

SCA has further streamlined its content leadership with a dedicated regional network head for both Hit and Triple M.

Jase Allen becomes Head of Hit Network Regional. Phil Bradley, Head of Triple M Network Regional. Blair Woodcock, the Head of Content – Regional who also stepped into the General Manager role with the Gold Coast stations Sea FM (where Bronte and Lakey broadcast from) and Triple M GOLD in March last year, now focuses exclusively on his Gold Coast responsibilities.

Some of the other losses to the Seven team have emerged. In the Sydney and Melbourne newsrooms Chris Maher, Brianna Jackson, Amy Clements, Phoebe Worthley, and Rochelle Brown, Estelle Griepink andInga Neilsen were either made redundant or took a voluntary offering.

Natarsha Belling, who was for a long time a newsreader with Triple M but shifted last year to present the Seven national news at midday, is also out. Tarsh also appears to have wrapped up presenting LiSTNR‘s daily news and current affairs podcast The Briefing.

Grace Fitzgibbon, who started out a newsreader with 2CC and 2CA in Canberra, has also taken a voluntary redundancy. She had hosted the ray of sunshine that was the Bright Side segment that wrapped up the evening 7News bulletin in Sydney until she went on maternity leave earlier this year.

Finally, the 6PR Rumour File this morning suggested that the entire Perth local promotions team was also let go. More job losses unfortunately still to come to light for SCA and Seven before the end of the financial year.
